Ryu Hyun-jin<\/a> (Hanwha) welcomed his visit to Korea by gifting Daejeon’s famous fried soboro bread to his old mentor, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts. Coach Roberts visited Ryu Hyun-jin as soon as he arrived in Korea for the opening game of the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) season against San Diego in Seoul.<\/p>\n

Ryu Hyun-jin visited the first base dugout where the Dodgers were preparing for the MLB season opening game held at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul on the 20th. Coach Roberts welcomed Ryu Hyun-jin with open arms, saying, \u201cMy man.\u201d After hugging, Ryu Hyun-jin handed the shopping bag containing the bread to Director Roberts.<\/p>\n

After checking the contents, Director Roberts exclaimed \u201cOh!\u201d and immediately took a bite of the bread and raised his thumb towards the reporters. As Director Roberts continued the \u2018eating show\u2019 on the spot, Ryu Hyun-jin also smiled broadly. Coach Roberts said to Ryu Hyun-jin, \u201cWhy don\u2019t you warm up quickly? He also joked, saying, \u201cGet ready to hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ryu Hyun-jin played for the Dodgers from 2013 to 2019<\/a>, and worked together with Manager Roberts for four years starting in 2016. After playing in Toronto for four years, he returned to his former team, Hanwha, ahead of this season.<\/p>\n

Ryu Hyun-jin, who has worn uniform number 99 since his Korean professional baseball debut in 2006, joked with Dodgers player number 99 Joe Kelly, saying, \u201cI took a good number.\u201d Kelly wore number 17 until last season, but changed his uniform number by giving it to ‘superstar’ Shohei Ohtani<\/a>, who joined the team ahead of this season. Ryu Hyun-jin said, \u201cI enjoyed meeting all of my Dodgers colleagues,\u201d and after coming out of the dugout, he watched the \u2018preview show\u2019 of the MLB opening game hosted by his wife, a former baseball announcer, and walked to the stands. \uc131\uc778\uc6f9\ud230<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
